The Howard Hughes Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results

Strong MPC home sales and Operating Assets performance contribute to improved outlook and increased full year 2023 guidance expectations

HOUSTON, Aug. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Howard Hughes Corporation^® (NYSE: HHC) (the "Company," "HHC" or "we") today announced operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023. The financial statements, exhibits, and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures in the attached Appendix and the Supplemental Information, as available through the Investors section of our website, provide further detail of these results.

Second Quarter 2023 Highlights:

"During the second quarter, we produced exceptionally strong results across our segments and remain well-positioned to carry this momentum through the second half of 2023," commented David R. O'Reilly, Chief Executive Officer. "Throughout the quarter, we saw new home sales-a leading indicator of future land sales-surge to its highest level since the second quarter of 2021, our office and multi-family assets produced solid same-store NOI growth, condo sales in Hawai'i remained strong with only 116 units remaining, and foot traffic at the Seaport continued to rise sparked by the launch of our Summer Concert Series, premier restaurant offerings, and the Tin Building marketplace.

"The positive performance of our MPC segment was led by Bridgeland^®-our Houston -based MPC-which is on pace to sell a record number of new homes this year. We continue to achieve strong pricing on lot sales as homebuilder appetite for land remains solid. We anticipate this strength in housing to continue and, as a result, expect increased residential land sales in the coming quarters.

"In Operating Assets, our office portfolio continues to outperform as 'flight to quality' remains a top priority for companies looking for space, resulting in robust leasing velocity which brought our stabilized assets to 89% leased-substantially higher compared to other assets around the country and in our surrounding metro regions of Houston, Las Vegas, and Baltimore-D.C. Within our multi-family portfolio, we recorded incrementally higher occupancy gains and saw 6% in-place rent growth within our stabilized properties.

"With the first half of 2023 in the books, we are thrilled with our performance to date and look forward to closing out the remainder of 2023 on a strong note. We increased 2023 full-year MPC EBT and Operating Assets NOI guidance, our condos in Ward Village are almost entirely sold or under contract, and the Seaport continues to make steady improvements. Our world-class portfolio of assets and significant pipeline of future developments leave us uniquely positioned to deliver meaningful growth and value creation in the years to come."

Total Company

• HHC reported a loss of $19.1 million or $(0.39) per diluted share in the quarter, compared to net income of $21.6 million or $0.42 per diluted share in the prior-year period.
• In late July, HHC announced the implementation of a holding company reorganization to provide the Company with additional financial flexibility to fund future opportunities and segregate assets and related liabilities in separate subsidiaries.
• Effective August 11, 2023, Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. will become the new parent company which will trade under the ticker symbol "HHH" on the New York Stock Exchange beginning August 14, 2023 .

MPC

• MPC EBT totaled $54.9 million in the quarter, or a 23% decrease compared to $71.3 million in the prior-year period. The reduction was largely driven by a 50% decline in land sales revenue-which totaled $42.3 million-primarily related to the timing of super pad land sales in Summerlin^®. Land sales revenues are expected to materially increase in the second half of 2023.
• New home sales totaled 605 homes-representing a 39% year-over-year increase and signifies continued strength for future land sales.
• Builder price participation revenue remained strong at $15.9 million, representing a $2.6 million year-over-year moderation from the all-time highs of 2022.
• The average price per acre of residential land sold was approximately $656,000 during the quarter-representing a 13% year-over-year decrease-primarily due to MPC sales mix and the absence of land sales in Summerlin. Excluding Summerlin and custom lot sales in The Woodlands ^®, the combined average price per acre in Bridgeland and The Woodlands Hills^® increased 2% year-over-year.

Operating Assets

• Total Operating Assets NOI, including contribution from unconsolidated ventures, totaled $68.1 million in the quarter, representing a 3% increase compared to $66.3 million in the prior-year period.
• Office NOI of $33.7 million increased $4.0 million year-over-year largely due to one-time lease termination fees, strong lease-up activity, and abatement expirations at various properties in The Woodlands . These increases were partially offset by tenant vacancies at various properties in Downtown Columbia ^® and initial operating losses at 1700 Pavilion in Summerlin. During the quarter, HHC executed new or expanded office leases totaling 167,000 square feet in The Woodlands and 32,000 square feet in Summerlin.
• Multi-family NOI of $13.1 million increased $1.2 million compared to the prior year period largely due to 6% average in-place rent growth and strong lease-up at HHC's newest properties-Starling at Bridgeland and Marlow, in Downtown Columbia .
• Retail NOI of $12.5 million declined $1.5 million year-over-year primarily due to one-time COVID-related recoveries in the prior year and the closure of two retail centers in Hawai'i to make way for The Park and Ulana Ward Village condominiums. Despite this reduction, the retail portfolio was 94% occupied, representing a 4% year-over-year improvement.
• The Las Vegas Ballpark generated $4.4 million of NOI during the quarter compared to $5.4 million in the prior-year period due to reduced sponsorship revenue. Despite this reduction, the Las Vegas Aviators^®-HHC's Triple-A minor league baseball team-has seen strong fan attendance thus far in the 2023 season and leads minor league baseball in ticket sales revenue.
• Subsequent to quarter end in early July, HHC divested its two self-storage facilities in The Woodlands for a combined sales price of $30.5 million, generating a gain on sale of $16.1 million .

Strategic Developments

• Closed on 15 condo units in the second quarter-including 11 at 'A'ali'i^® and four at Ko'ula^®-generating $14.9 million in revenue. At quarter end, 'A'ali'i and Ko'ula were 99% and 98% sold, respectively, with eight units pending close in the third quarter.
• Contracted to sell 21 units at HHC's three towers in pre-sales-The Park Ward Village, Ulana, and Kalae. At quarter end, these projects were 93%, 99%, and 83% pre-sold, respectively.
• HHC incurred a $16.1 million charge during the quarter to fund additional remediation expenditures related to window construction defects at Waiea. The Company continues to vigorously pursue recovery of these costs from the general contractor and other responsible parties.

Seaport

• Seaport revenue of $22.8 million declined $5.4 million or 19% compared to the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to non-recurring COVID-related recoveries at the Fulton Market Building and event revenue from ApeFest on the Rooftop at Pier 17 in the prior year, partially offset by rental revenue from the Tin Building.
• Seaport generated negative NOI of $2.4 million, representing a $1.8 million year-over-year reduction. Including $9.3 million of losses from unconsolidated ventures-primarily related to the Tin Building by Jean-Georges-Total Seaport NOI was a loss of $11.7 million .
• At the Tin Building by Jean-Georges, equity losses of $9.6 million remained elevated as the Company continues to implement operational improvements and refine the operating model during the marketplace's first year in operations. Poor weather during the quarter-including smoke conditions in June-also contributed. The peak summer season and increased foot traffic are expected to drive improvement in the third quarter.
• Sold 171,000 tickets to date for the Summer Concert Series on the Rooftop at Pier 17, representing more than 85% of available ticket inventory.

Financing Activity

• In May, the Company closed on a $27.8 million construction loan for the development of the Summerlin South Office. The loan bears interest at SOFR plus 2.35% with an initial maturity in May 2027 .

Full-Year 2023 Guidance

• MPC EBT, which was previously projected to decline 25% to 35% year-over-year due to a slower housing market, is expected to benefit from increased sales of new homes in Bridgeland, Summerlin, and The Woodlands Hills year-to-date. With reduced cancellations and declining inventories of new homes, homebuilder interest in new acreage has meaningfully improved, and the Company expects increased land sales in the coming quarters. As a result, 2023 MPC EBT is now expected to be flat to down 10% year-over-year.
• Operating Assets NOI, which was previously projected to be in a range of down 2% to up 2% year-over-year, has benefited from strong multi-family rent growth and lease-up at new developments in Bridgeland, Downtown Columbia, and Summerlin which encompass nearly 1,400 units. The office portfolio has also delivered solid financial performance year-to-date, benefiting from expiring abatements; however, strong leasing momentum in recent quarters is not expected to have a material impact on 2023 results due to free rent periods on many of the new leases. Overall, excluding the $3.4 million contribution from divested retail assets in the prior year, Operating Assets NOI is now expected to be in a range of up 1% to up 4% year-over-year.
• Condo sales revenues, which were previously projected to range between $45 million and $55 million with gross margins between 25% to 28%, are now expected to range between $40 million and $45 million with gross margins between 10% to 13%. Projected condo sales revenues and gross margins are entirely driven by the closing of remaining units at 'A'ali'i and Ko'ula, which were 99% and 98% sold, respectively, as of June 30, 2023 . Reduced revenue and gross margins expectations are the result of recent pricing reductions to facilitate the close-out of remaining units which represent approximately 3% of all units in the two towers. Despite lower margins on the remaining units, overall gross margins at 'A'ali'i and Ko'ula are still expected to be between 25% and 30%. The next major condo project scheduled to be completed is Victoria Place, which is expected to be delivered in 2024 and is 100% pre-sold.
• Cash G&A guidance is unchanged and is projected to range between $80 million and $85 million , which excludes anticipated non-cash stock compensation of approximately $5 million .

Conference Call & Webcast Information

The Howard Hughes Corporation will host its second quarter 2023 earnings conference call on Wednesday, August 9, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time ( 9:00 a.m. Central Time ). Please visit The Howard Hughes Corporation's website to listen to the earnings call via a live webcast. To access the call via telephone, please dial 877-270-2148 within the U.S., 866-605-3850 within Canada, or [phone] when dialing internationally. All participants should dial in at least five minutes prior to the scheduled start time using 10173046 as the passcode.

We are primarily focused on creating shareholder value by increasing our per-share net asset value. Often, the nature of our business results in short-term volatility in our net income due to the timing of MPC land sales, recognition of condominium revenue and operating business pre-opening expenses, and, as such, we believe the following metrics summarized below are most useful in tracking our progress towards net asset value creation.

A non-GAAP financial measure used throughout this release is net operating income (NOI).

Segment Earnings Before Tax (EBT)

As a result of our four segments-Operating Assets, Master Planned Communities (MPC), Seaport, and Strategic Developments-being managed separately, we use different operating measures to assess operating results and allocate resources among these four segments. The one common operating measure used to assess operating results for our business segments is EBT. EBT, as it relates to each business segment, includes the revenues and expenses of each segment, as shown below. EBT excludes corporate expenses and other items that are not allocable to the segments. We present EBT because we use this measure, among others, internally to assess the core operating performance of our assets.

Appendix - Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Below are GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations of certain financial measures, as required under Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Non-GAAP information should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial information presented may be determined or calculated differently by other companies and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures.

Net Operating Income (NOI)

We define NOI as operating revenues (rental income, tenant recoveries, and other revenue) less operating expenses (real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, marketing, and other property expenses). NOI excludes straight-line rents and amortization of tenant incentives, net; interest expense, net; ground rent amortization; demolition costs; other income (loss); amortization; depreciation; development-related marketing costs; gain on sale or disposal of real estate and other assets, net; provision for impairment; and equity in earnings from unconsolidated ventures. This amount is presented as Operating Assets NOI and Seaport NOI throughout this document. Total Operating Assets NOI and Total Seaport NOI represent NOI as defined above with the addition of our share of NOI from unconsolidated ventures.

We believe that NOI is a useful supplemental measure of the performance of our Operating Assets and Seaport segments because it provides a performance measure that reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating real estate properties. We use NOI to evaluate our operating performance on a property-by-property basis because NOI allows us to evaluate the impact that property-specific factors such as rental and occupancy rates, tenant mix, and operating costs have on our operating results, gross margins, and investment returns.

A reconciliation of segment EBT to NOI for Operating Assets and Seaport is presented in the tables below:

Same Store NOI - Operating Assets Segment

The Company defines Same Store Properties as consolidated and unconsolidated properties that are acquired or placed in-service prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented and owned by the Company through the end of the latest period presented. Same Store Properties exclude properties placed in-service, acquired, repositioned or in development or redevelopment after the beginning of the earliest period presented or disposed of prior to the end of the latest period presented. Accordingly, it takes at least one year and one quarter after a property is acquired or treated as in-service for that property to be included in Same Store Properties.

We calculate Same Store Net Operating Income (Same Store NOI) as Operating Assets NOI applicable to Same Store Properties. Same Store NOI also includes the Company's share of NOI from unconsolidated ventures and the annual distribution from a cost basis investment. Same Store NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of our operating performance. We believe that Same Store NOI is helpful to investors as a supplemental comparative performance measure of the income generated from the same group of properties from one period to the next. Other companies may not define Same Store NOI in the same manner as we do; therefore, our computation of Same Store NOI may not be comparable to that of other companies. Additionally, we do not control investments in unconsolidated properties and while we consider disclosures of our share of NOI to be useful, they may not accurately depict the legal and economic implications of our investment arrangements.

Cash G&A

The Company defines Cash G&A as General and administrative expense less non-cash stock compensation expense. Cash G&A is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to our investors and other users of our financial statements as an indicator of overhead efficiency without regard to non-cash expenses associated with stock compensation. However, it should not be used as an alternative to general and administrative expenses in accordance with GAAP.
